Descriptions

Double free vulnerability in the jas_iccattrval_destroy function in JasPer 1.900.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ICC color profile in a JPEG 2000 image file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2014-8137.

Vulnerabilidad de liberación doble en la función jas_iccattrval_destroy en JasPer 1.900.1 y versiones anteriores permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un perfil de color ICC en un archivo de imagen JPEG 2000, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2014-8137.

Jacob Baines discovered that JasPer incorrectly handled ICC color profiles in JPEG-2000 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG-2000 image file, a remote attacker could cause JasPer to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. Tyler Hicks discovered that JasPer incorrectly handled memory when processing JPEG-2000 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG-2000 image file, a remote attacker could cause JasPer to consume memory, resulting in a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
